If a guest book or message board will do what you want, you could try
"ASPBoard". Its free, but you need to be running a web server. Heres the
readme file ...

Installation Instructions:
Copy all files to your website's root directory.
If you are working with Visual InterDev you may also
need to manually add them to the current project.
You can later move the files wherever you want.

Customization Instructions:

The only file you will want to modify is aspBoardData.asp.
The most important variable is abDBPath. This variable
will be used by the webserver to map the correct path
of the database. By default, the database will reside
in the root directory along with the rest of the aspBoard
files. Therefore, you do not need to change this value.

If you need to use MS Access 97, there is a file included:
aspboard97.mdb - just delete the other database and rename
this one to aspboard.mdb

You could also consider setting up a list at Yahoo Groups, this requires
little work and has some added advantages like the ability to use it
with the web interface or as a mailing list.

of course it is. seems you failed to notice Leif had tongue planted firmly
in cheek. your choices are:

o Move on and ignore it.
o See it as a challenge to your very being and initiate a nuclear strike

It purports to be. I remain skeptical.
